Looking for a lazy, couch-bound Saturday? We’re here to help
A very mixed bag tonight.
VERY mixed.
Probably because Shazam! is out this weekend, we’ve got a lot of superhero movies to choose from tonight.
And also probably because the new Pet Sematary is out this weekend, we’ve got a solid mix of horror.
Plus there are some comedies and dramas for those looking for something else entirely.
SATURDAY 6 APRIL
Hellboy – Dave – 8.00pm
This weirdo superhero movie doesn’t get enough praise these days. Part One.
Jack Reacher – Sky One – 8.00pm
Tom Cruise stars as a former army detective who is drawn into a dangerous plot about one of the world’s best snipers who has begun taking pot shots at the general public. A very good thriller, and the movie that put him and eventual Mission: Impossible – Fallout director Chris McQuarrie together!
X-Men: Apocalypse – Channel 4 – 8.00pm
Is this superhero movie as bad as we remember? Part Two.
Blade – TCM – 9.45pm
This weirdo superhero movie doesn’t get enough praise these days. Part Two.
Ouija: Origin Of Evil – FilmFour – 9.50pm
Much like Annabelle: Origins, this prequel to a not-very-good horror movie turned out to be surprisingly quite good, likely due to the fact that it comes from the same director as Netflix’s hit horror show The Haunting Of Hill House.
Lawless – Channel 4 – 10.50pm
Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Guy Pearce, Shia LaBeouf, Jason Clarke, and more fill out this all-star cast, telling the story of a group of bootlegging brothers who find themselves the target of a ruthless government agent.
The Conjuring – ITV2 – 11.45pm
One of the most entertaining, slickest horrors of recent years. If you haven’t seen it, it is definitely worth checking out.
